SANTA'S ELF

 

All the paper strips will be 3 mm wide but of different colors and lengths. However for the fringed flowers you will need a bright white 7 mm wide strip.

For this ornament you will be making  the following pieces: 

The picture shows the basic materials needed

 

However, to help myself for the face, I also used a mini-mold. This is optional.

FACE

1. Roll a flesh/pale peach 80 cm into a tight circle 2 cm in diameter.

2. Shape it into a grape roll.

 

I used a mini mold to help me. However, you can use your fingers, a small bouncing ball, a marble, or anything that is in the shape of a sphere.

3. Once you have the grape shape, apply glue inside so that it will not come apart.

I let it dry overnight. Next morning it should look like this.

FACIAL FEATURES

EYES

Roll 2 black 8 cm long strips into tight circles.

MOUTH

Roll a red 10 cm long strip into a tight circle.

EARS

Roll 2 flesh/pale peach 9 cm long strip of paper into loose circles and shape them into teardrops.

HAIR

Cut several small strips of brown paper. I used 6 strips. DO NOT GLUE THEM YET.
You are going to glue them to the head during the assembly stage.  

HAT AND FRINGED FLOWERS

HAT

Roll a green 60 cm long strip into a loose circle 1.5 cm in diameter.

Shape it into a long triangle.

FRINGED FLOWERS

 

1. Fringe 4 bright white 9 cm long strips of paper.

This time the paper will be 7 mm wide

 2. Roll them into tight circles for the hat band and the ball

 

3. Glue them according to the following picture.  I glued them between the folds in the hat.

4. Glue one flower on top of the hat. 

ASSEMBLY

Now you are going to glue the hair. 
   
 1. Glue the brown strips on to the head. 

 

2. Glue the hat to the head so that the brim is over the forehead.

3. Trim the hair.

 

4. Glue the eyes

5. Glue the mouth

6. Glue the ears to each side of the head.  

Your final project will look like the pattern above. 

Congratulations, you are finished!

 Thank you for visiting me.
